Program, Balance, and Optimize

Dimensions Programming and Optimization (DPO) helps you create balanced, optimized products to ensure you get the highest possible throughput from your Universal lines. DPO features a powerful line balancer that distributes parts evenly across machines in the line to eliminate production bottlenecks. Once the line is balanced, the DPO program optimizer establishes the most efficient placement sequence for each machine in the line for maximum productivity. Use feeder template generation to define grouped setups for your product families, minimizing feeder changes between products and changeover time.

DPO delivers comprehensive part data management capabilities, including an extensive portfolio of pre-loaded standard packages to streamline the part data definition process. For maximum efficiency, you can also share your component database and products across the network so that they can be used for both programming and production. When combined with Dimensions Data Prep Studio, DPO delivers a robust offline programming solution that enables you to develop a complete, well-defined production process before a single component is placed.
